ethics.

the moral of the story is: there's no just "black" or "white" all the time. many a times, there exists this "gray" area, where there's no right or wrong answer. it becomes hard at those times, especially when you have to make a decision. you can't sit on the fence for that matter...you have to take a side. uncomfortable as it might be, you HAVE to take a stand.

take for example, abortion. just had a session this morning and we were discussing it during the lecture. I personally don't agree with it. but the reality is, there will still be people wanting to have abortions. no matter whether you'll do it or not, abortions will still happen. in New Zealand, it's legal. and by law, let's say a patient came to me wanting to terminate her pregnancy, I have an obligation to refer her on to another doctor even if I wouldn't do it. and there are people out there who support abortions, but for the right reasons I guess. cos by acknowledging it, you actually help make it safer for the patient. people will try all the ways and means to get rid of the pregnancy even if you don't help them, and that endangers themselves more often than not. people will do anything when they're desperate...

sometimes I wonder in some cases why not just...not have an unplanned pregnancy? it's like...some people seem to be 'looking for trouble'. it's not my place to judge though. and like...sigh. the fallen world. I shan't comment on it. some people make mistakes, I know I do too. so it's really not for me to say anything. and yeah. some people do have valid reasons for wanting to abort their unborn baby. health reasons for the patient - physical as well as mental too. and abnormalities in the baby...or whatever it is. I still maintain that I don't support abortions though.

anyway. this took a really long time to be written. and it's kinda not my 'normal' writing material. heh. just thought I'd write something different. and yeah. I've got more serious stuff to write about too but will do that in another post. maybe.

on a side note, I'm getting quite bored really. not needing to study, not even having the urge to do any revision since there's no motivation to. hmm. that's not too good I reckon. wasting my time doing nothing! ah well. will relax for this bit, then get back into it. give me something to do! haha. *cough* sorry for those having exams! I didn't mean to rub it in...ALL THE BEST yah! =)

er...just random, some pple have commented that I apologise too often. do I?



sweet were the times of old, but that was past...
sweeter will be when I find what I'm looking for...
but sweetest would be when I'm finally home.
